The thread of posts on this subject produced lots of replies and a bit of heat at times; maybe a poll could complement the discussion, to show where people's assumptions are coming from. The context might be in relation to what parents might in the end feel reasonably comfortable with and accustomed with for a young person.

I had an earring in my left ear when I was in my late teens. It was a culture thing at the time.

I have an earring in both ears.

Just makes sense I guess to have the balanced look of one in each ear, if you are going to go for it, right? So was your mom okay when you did your ears?

Hey faroukfarouk, I am only seeing this posting now! Sorry for the delay! Anyway, in answer to your question, had it been fashionable to have your ears pierced in both ears back then, I would have done that as well. What I did do was buy earring crosses and I took one and gave the other one to my girlfriend at the time instead.

So do you ever wear an earring in the one hole that you do have? and, if so, when you do, does it ever cross your mind to have the other ear pierced as well? Take care.

Faroukfarouk, I cannot help but see the common theme in *all* of the theads you start...... As the OP, you can broaden... or redefine the conversation within a thread. That way you can keep up with who said what about the same topic. [;)][8D] As for earrings for men. They don't bother me. If a man wants to wear them. Cool. If not, also cool. My sons each have their left ear pierced. I'm not enamored or disgusted. It's just fashion.

I don't have an earring but after I graduate and move out I plan on getting two earrings in my left ear.

If I was a pirate, I'd definitely have an earring. Barring that, my earlobes will probably remain intact.

I don't know, don't care. I, personally, don't care for a lot of modification as such, but I don't care if someone else wants to do it. It's no more or less silly for a man to have earrings, than a woman. It's simply (for the most part) superficial adornment.

So do you ever wear an earring in the one hole that you do have? and, if so, when you do, does it ever cross your mind to have the other ear pierced as well? Take care. No, because it got infected and it ended being closed up, however I still have the scare though. And no, I haven't thought about getting the other side done at all.

I'm 56 and generally conservative in my outlook but do like to be in style without being extreme. I had my left ear pierced in 1991 when I was 39, and my right ear done, along with a second hole in the left ear, a few months back. Extreme or numerous piercings certainly aren't for me, but a couple of earrings are pretty mainstream now.

I am noticing more and more guys wearing these new round earrings that covers the the whole bottom part of the ear. I gotta admit it looks kinda ah, strange.
